We all know our favorite Hollywood dads, *cough*cough* Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Andy Cohen, John Legend but there are also some famous dads that well — you probably had no idea were dads.
Maybe it’s due to privacy reasons or maybe, it would stain their reputation as a bad-boy bachelor. Either way, we have tracked down these
Simon Cowell
We know, we know, this one is a real shocker. In 2013, the tell-it-like-it-is American Idol and X Factor judge made eyebrows raise when it was discovered he was expecting a baby with New York socialite Lauren Silverman, who was still married to his friend Andrew Silverman at the time. YIKES. The two decided to shack up and now they are raising Eric Cowell.

And while the star admits he loves fatherhood and shared to Us Magazine in February 2015 that his kids had “made [him] much nicer,” — don’t expect to find photos of them together as Hugh is very private when it comes to his kids.
